Game 133 Thread: August 29 vs. Padres, 7p

Padres reliever Anthony Bass in Arizona yesterday.

Clayton Kershaw (16-5, 2.51) vs. Mat Latos (6-12, 3.74).

The Battle for Last Place starts tonight, with the Dodgers 12.0 games behind the first-place Diamondbacks, and the Padres 15.0 games behind. The Padres will need a sweep to escape sole occupancy of the NL West basement, with Cy Young candidate Clayton Kershaw (I love typing that) standing in their way. But Padres starter Mat Latos has thrown five straight QualityStart™s, so don't expect a shootout.

Sax's note: If all goes well, I should be covering the game today from the press box. Give a shout out if you're at the Stadium tonight.

@AC

Historically, Dodgers have played one of their final if not the final home game on Mrs Dusty's and my wedding anniversary. We always make it a point to go to the Yard that night. Alas, this year, we're away. Think I can convince the front office to let us in and just sit there for 3 hours?

Kyle Baker said...

7-0 Cubbies in the 9th.

Kid K back out there!

Alex Cora said...

I like the DBT 3rd person reference a la Rickey I am the greatest Henderson.

Kyle Baker said...

Heh, that was a good statement from DBT. Good to have him back around.

Alex Cora said...

@DB. Yeah you could probably get into the park. Heck there aren't any security guards anyways. Just jump th fence.

AC is watching the game and commenting on his iPad.

Kyle Baker said...

Come on, Kid K...one more strike.

Alex Cora said...

AC likes Kershaw and wants to see him get the complete game.

Kyle Baker said...

Dusty needs a glass of wine.

Kyle Baker said...

FUCK YEAH!

Alex Cora said...

Yeah. Go Blue!

spank said...

Kershaw!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

WE DON'T SUCK TONIGHT

spank said...

Looks like Loney is the belle of the ball.

Josh S. said...

Kid K grits the shit out of it.

Kyle Baker said...

@Assassin

Are you eavesdropping on my conversation with Neeebs' mom?

Alex Cora said...

AC is going to bed. Good night all.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Good night, AC.

Good night, moon.

Steve Sax said...
